EMBL database and GCG

As from the current release EMBL distributes its database no longer as one
large file, but split into taxonomic divisions. This caused some problems
for users of the GCG package. To solve these problems a set of programs has
been written by Peter Rice at EMBL and will be distributed as part of the
GCGEMBL package. It is available from the EMBL file server as
VAX_SOFTWARE:GCGDBASE.UUE.
The package contains programs to utilize the new EMBL divisions for GCG, to
create a SwissProt database, to create PIRONLY and GBONLY databases with
entries not in SwissProt and EMBL resp., and to create EMNEW and GBNEW
databases containing sequences distributed by the EMBL File Server and over
EMBnet. Additionally, it contains some bug fixes mainly dealing with
sequences >100,000 bp.
Users that are new to the EMBL File Server should start sending a mail
message to NETSERV at EMBL.BITNET containing the lines
HELP
HELP SOFTWARE
HELP VAX_SOFTWARE
Since NETSERV is a fully automatic process, don't send inquiries or
questions to NETSERV. Instead please use SOFTWARE at EMBL for general questions
or RICE at EMBL if you have problems directly related to GCGEMBL programs.
